The prize-linked savings app EverUp has chosen Jumio’s AI-powered identity verification solutions to drive its customer onboarding and authentication processes, all while deterring fraud and meeting regulatory mandates.
EverUp is a prize-linked savings startup, launching in January the first UK digitally-native prize-linked money* account. EverUp customers will earn virtual coins based on how much they are saving and as they perform other actions, such as signing up, opening an account, logging in, levelling up and inviting friends to join. The more customers save, the more they will be rewarded with coins that can be used to play games, for the chance to win tax-free cash prizes. Customers never use their own money to play and can withdraw their funds at any time, with no fees.
In choosing Jumio, EverUp will be able to reliably and securely verify the identities of new users by having them first capture a picture of their government-issued ID and then take a corroborating selfie. This process ensures that the user is who they claim to be and physically present during the process. EverUp will also use Jumio Authentication to verify the digital identities of existing customers on an ongoing basis.
Giuseppe Caltabiano, CEO and Co-founder at EverUp, said: “We have chosen Jumio because we wanted a fast, customer-centric solution, that would offer a seamless and streamlined customer onboarding experience and ID verification, while meeting the KYC, AML and GDPR compliance requirements.”
“EverUp aims to gamify the savings accumulation and apply its prize-linked and gamification approach to other aspects of our personal finance life. Rewards drive engagement, putting a habit-forming pleasure into a compelling proposition. A prize-linked proposition is about helping our customers build positive habits. Making things fun is solving a problem and having fun while achieving a goal makes it feel magical. We aim to turn a boring product into a fun product, so that we can turn non-savers into savers.”
Robert Prigge, CEO at Jumio, said: “We are delighted to partner with EverUp and support their mission to make saving fun. We look forward to helping EverUp meet growing verification volumes, streamline KYC compliance andscale across geographies.”
